Lucky are those who get to work in an air conditioned environment all day long...I don't. I am in and out of my car all day. I am out of the car long enough for it to get re-e-e-ea-lly hot...then I don't get cooled off before it is time to park in yet another parking lot and walk sometimes long distances in the heat in high heels to get to the medical building. The good news is I get some exercise in those parking lots and I get some " heat conditioning" whether I want it or not. I did 40 min. on the ellipticisor tonight...just too hot to walk outside anymore today. I am going to "try" once again to get my lazy hind parts out of that bed in the morning and go for a wog at Strawberry Park. I know it is XT day and I will do yoga tomorrow night, but I have not wogged since the 18 miles. Boy, Strawberry Park is deserted in the afternoons now. It used to be as busy as a beehive with walkers and runners. Yesterday at 6pm I did tennis drills for an hour which is a lot of running in the heat. All I wanted to do when I got home was to take a shower and go beddy-bye...which is exactly what I did.
Well, it seems word has spread amongst my tennis community that I am going to do the Chicago Marathon. I have told a few, but you know how that grapevine works. It is amusing to see when someone hears about my project for the first time and they start looking me over from head to toe...you know how catty and jealous some females can be...well, after they give me the "once over" they relax...I know they are thinking "now, that girl can do some serious eatin' if she is still that size and training for a marathon! And she said she did 18 miles a week ago...she is either lying or spending a whole lot of time eating." I have no explanation...I don't understand it myself...the "why" behind no weight loss with increased exercise and the same ole eating habits. Any insight on this anyone?!
I hope to get some time this weekend to look at all the websites and videos MM'ers are referring to in their blogs and on the forum. I especially want to see the CM video. I am needing some pumping up these days. Good night all.

Girl, you don't need to be pumped up! You are already there! Anyone who can do tennis drills at 6:00 p.m. in this heat is a true marathoner! And just think how much easier it will be in cool Chicago in October! You go girl!
